Ekua Ceramics, a Los Angeles-based black-owned company, crafts minimal and functional stoneware in punchy palettes. The ceramics brand was founded in 2017 by Belgium-born designer Sara Ekua Todd, drawing inspiration from her multiethnic upbringing in an artistic household to create collections of everyday home goods.

In lush colors that are sure to add a pop to any kitchen cupboard, the studio’s handcrafted cups come in geometric shapes with a smooth, powder-like finish, giving them a soft sensuality.

Ekua Ceramics’ homewares are classic essentials with a contemporary cool personality, defined by a modest individuality that suits both folksy and design-oriented interiors.

The brand’s functional clayware exhibits a reverence for shape and surface and often bursts with juicy colors.

The brand’s unique taste comes from the founder’s multi-ethnic upbringing. Having grown up in an artistic household, she discovered the importance of individuality, which gives the brand a very keen sense of style that translates into all the objects being produced.

Introducing a simple and functional cup shape, Ekua Ceramics offers concrete-colored clay cups with a matte glaze body and a glossy glaze on the interior, perfect for whatever you’re sipping! Each cup is handmade locally in Long Beach.
